Trying to install...

I know this is an old game and figured the online servers would be down by now, but is there any other way I can still install my game without using the steam servers? everytime I try run the install, it tries to update steam and tells me there are no online servers. Did I really just buy a dead game? Someone please help.

You have to use Steam to download the game. The game is by no means dead, though.---"This isn't 1914, and the ISA aren't trying to topple the Kaiser."- mikedutches ///// Hero of Ikaruga! ///// PSN: Tom_Powers
